Moving box rental in Waterdown — reusable plastic bins
First, to be clear: these are reusable plastic moving bins with secure lids — hand-carried moving boxes that hold 102 litres each, not dumpsters or portable storage containers.
Waterdown sits between Hamilton and Burlington, and hardware-store cardboard usually means a drive either way. Bins come to you instead.
We deliver across Dundas Street, Mill Street and the newer subdivisions off Parkside for $5 per bin the first week.
$5 per bin for the first week · $1.50 per bin each extra week · delivery & pickup included.

What moving in Waterdown is actually like
Waterdown sits on the escarpment between Hamilton and Burlington, and almost every errand from here is a drive in one direction or the other. That is exactly why sourcing cardboard is such a nuisance locally — the box run is 20 minutes each way before you have packed anything.
The older core around Mill Street and Dundas Street East has narrow lots and some shared driveways. The newer subdivisions off Parkside and Centre Road are wide, flat and easy to load, with garages that hold far more than people account for.
Clappison's Corners and the Millgrove side are more rural. Deliveries reach them fine, but gravel driveways are worth mentioning in your order notes.
Local packing tips for Waterdown
Skip the box run entirely
The single biggest time saving in a Waterdown move is not driving to Burlington or Dundas for cardboard. Order the bin count up front.
Start with the garage and shed
Parkside-area homes typically have both. Together they are often 15 bins.
Book the Friday drop
A Friday delivery gives you the full weekend to pack before a Monday move, which suits most Waterdown families.
Where else can you get moving boxes in Waterdown?
There is no large moving-supply retailer in Waterdown itself. Buying cardboard means Burlington, Dundas or Hamilton, and used boxes take days to accumulate. A bin delivery is one stop that comes to you.
Better than U-Haul boxes
A bundle of 20 U-Haul medium cardboard boxes costs about $90.54 delivered to Waterdown — and you still buy tape, get less space per box, and recycle everything afterwards. Twenty of our 102 L reusable bins are $113 all in, with free labels and a dolly included.
You can buy cardboard at hardware and storage stores or collect used boxes for free. The simpler option in Waterdown is renting reusable plastic moving bins from Binsley — they arrive at your door for $5 per bin the first week and we pick them up when you're unpacked.
How much does it cost to rent moving bins in Waterdown?
$5 per bin for the first week and $1.50 per bin for each extra week. Delivery and pickup in Waterdown are included, and only the first week is charged at checkout.
How many moving boxes or bins do I need in Waterdown?
Mostly detached family homes and townhouses, so 40 bins is the typical starting point. As a rule of thumb, about 20 bins suits a 1 bedroom, 40 a 2 to 3 bedroom, and 60 or more a larger home. Each bin holds 102 litres, roughly a medium moving box.
Which parts of Waterdown do you deliver to?
We deliver across Waterdown, including Downtown Waterdown, Mill Street, Parkside Drive, Dundas Street East, Clappison's Corners. Enter your postal code at checkout and we'll confirm instantly.
When can bins be delivered and picked up?
Deliveries and pickups run Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Choose your delivery day at checkout, then request pickup from your My Rentals page when you're finished.
Are reusable bins better than cardboard moving boxes?
For most moves, yes. One bin is reused for hundreds of moves and washed between each one, it won't collapse under weight, and the lid keeps everything dry — no tape, no assembly and nothing to recycle afterwards.
Is a moving bin the same as a dumpster or storage container?
No. Our moving bins are reusable plastic moving boxes with secure lids — each one holds 102 litres and is carried by hand, about the size of a medium cardboard box. They are not waste dumpsters or portable storage containers.
Is Waterdown inside your delivery area?
Yes. We deliver throughout Waterdown, including the Mill Street core, the Parkside and Centre Road subdivisions, Clappison's Corners and Millgrove, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
